While the White Sox did ink Hairston to a contract, it does not include an invite to spring training. The 35-year-old outfielder didn't play in the bigs in 2015. In his last major league action, he hit .208/.253/.299 with a singular home run, four doubles and eight RBI across 77 at-bats with the Nationals in 2014. Hairston's father and grandfather both played for the White Sox. Wed, Nov 18, 2015 07:35:00 PM

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Scott Hairston has signed a minor league deal with the White Sox.

The deal presumably includes an invitation to spring training. Hairston, 35, didn't play professionally this past season and last appeared in the majors with the Nationals in 2014. Wed, Nov 18, 2015 12:12:00 PM

Scott Hairston hit his first homer of the year Saturday in his lone at-bat off the bench against the Rangers.

Even with Bryce Harper out, Hairston hasn't started a game in 15 days. He's hitting .450 this year, but that's just in 20 at-bats, a very low total even after factoring in that he spent a month on the DL with a strained oblique. Sat, May 31, 2014 03:00:00 PM

We knew it would take quite a haul for the White Sox to give up three years of one of the best pitchers in the game, and they managed to find it from Boston. Moncada, the centerpiece of the deal, is one of the top position prospects in all of baseball. He turns 22 in May and batted .294/.407/.511 with 15 homers and 45 stolen bases over 106 games last season between High-A and Double-A. Moncada struggled during his first exposure to the majors, but that wasn’t unexpected given his age and inexperience against advanced pitching. He should get a shot with the big club at some point in 2017, likely at second base. There’s still fantasy mega-stud potential here.
